The uniform is iconic: white shirts (short-sleeved for boys, pinafore over white blouse for girls) and green shorts/skirts for primary; blue, white, or blue-white combination for secondary. The school badge, nametag, and co-curricular badges (Scouts, Bulan Sabit Merah) are pinned with military precision.
